A Contract

Jenna?

Tyler POV

" JENNA WAIT UP!"

She halted to a stop. She was beautiful. 

Her blonde hair trailed behind her. Her eyes met mine as she turned to face me. 

" Hey Tyler! What's up?"

" Um..." This was hard for me I've liked her for a long time, but why waste my time we were in our last year of high school." Will you go out with me?" I asked.

Her face turned from a smile to almost... dissastisfaction?

Was she disappointed that it was me asking her and not someone else?

What did I do wrong?

" Tyler. I'm so sorry. I-I- I like Josh...."

Right then and there my heart broke. It almost felt like I would start crying.

I'm better than that. I needed to hold it in until I could get home and write in the journal that was pressed hard against my chest.

" Oh.. it's fine. I-m fine." A straight up lie right there.

" Tyler?" She said. She grabbed my shoulder.

Her touch usually warmed me, but right now it almost felt painful.

" Jenna?" I said.

Joking was a way I showed I was fine.

" Sorry." That was all she said.

That was all she felt.

Why?

I couldn't change the way she felt about me.

She walked away.

" Please don't go, I'm sorry." I said that, but all that came out was like a whisper.

I wanted to yell.

I was pathetic.

Please Jenna come back I'm sorry.

I love YOU.

Josh was probably better for her anyways.

I'm sorry Jenna.

I loved you.
